Want to improve your online security? The general rule with login credentials is the more characters, the more secure your password. This is because longer passwords are harder to hack. This keeps your personal data, files and accounts safe. We recommend going for login credentials with at least 10 characters to make. Do you find it difficult to remember a long password? Then create a password phrase. These are easier to remember. The password phrase should have at least four words and should not be a proverb.
With a sequence of letters or numbers, you become easy prey for hackers. In fact, these types of login credentials are easy to hack. Therefore, it is wise not to use combinations such as "123456" or "qwerty" in your password. Create a password with a random sequence of uppercase letters, special characters, lowercase letters and numbers. Such login credentials are unpredictable and harder to hack. Thus, you can easily secure your personal data and files.
Do you use personal information such as your child's name? This is indeed easy to remember, and therefore easier to hack. We therefore recommend not using personal information in your password. Do you doubt whether your new password is strong enough? Use Security. org's tool to check how strong your login credentials are and how easy they are to hack. Want to make an easy password secure anyway? Then write the word as you pronounce it or write it with the wrong spelling on purpose. For example, you might write cappuccino as "kaputshieno." This type of login is easier to remember and harder to hack.
Do you write your passwords on a bill? Or do you save them in a Word file on the computer? You can easily lose a bill, then you lose all your passwords. If your computer is hacked, the hackers will immediately have all your login information. There are several programs that make it easy to remember your login information. With a password manager, you can easily store your login information securely. This way you no longer have to remember all your passwords while all your data is still easily centralized.
In addition to a strong password, we recommend that you additionally secure your account with multifactor authentication (MFA). With MFA, you set up additional login methods to enter in addition to the password, such as a code via SMS. A variety of authentication methods can be used. Without this authentication, it is not possible to access your account and data. By using MFA, hackers will not have automatic access to your account once they have cracked your passwords. So your account is easily made extra secure by MFA.
So it is important to create a strong password and secure your account with MFA to keep your personal information safe. Want help creating secure login credentials?
